My 73 year old Dad's one true love and lust is the Ferrari logo on race day. Last week, he gathered around his children, grandchildren, and dogs to watch RUSH as he burnt the crap out of some steaks. This man only travels two places: 1. Ft Myers, FL, and 2. to Formula 1 races. "The farthest I have ever been for a race is France. I'll never go to that whore house again. (mutters mutters)." Yet, while he choked on the fact that I bought a foreign car almost a month ago, he has no problem rooting for his homeland Ferrari (100% Sicilian). I will never forget the look on his face when his youngest grandson asked about the Hunt versus Lauda finally. He even brought out pictures of his own 1965 Ferrari. Here is the great man's list of Ferrari's and Porsche he worked very hard to provide his garage space with:

• 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS Red
  
• 2000 911 Porsche Black with Orange Interior (the only one he ever let me drive)

9 Notable Cars in 2013

As the 2013 year closes, General Motors has created a list of the ultimate, the beautiful, and the most futuristic cars on the market. Half of these, sadly, are worth over 1.3 million dollars, so I won't be purchasing any of these on the list. As you will see below, vehicle engineers are now mixing retro with futuristic, bringing back swing up doors, large front grills, and classic Hollywood hoods, but increasing horizontal lines, flat top and backs, and large, sleek wheels. For the complete 26 car list, you can find it here:
